Remilia Quarterly VN

Remilia Quarterly VN is an unreleased visual novel adaptation of the first issue of Remilia Quarterly. It was shown once, at the issue's launch rave in Chicago on April 26, 2024, and has not been released since, which has made it a piece of lost media within the Remilia ecosystem.

Development

The visual novel was made by a group of young artists from Chicago, who created all of its generated artwork and adapted most of the issue's articles into dialogue. Instead of reading an essay, the player walks around a school and talks to characters who deliver its contents. The issue's essay on games, for example, becomes a conversation with a bespectacled otaku in a bar who rambles about his favorite games.

Launch rave

Remilia announced the launch rave for Remilia Quarterly Issue 1 for April 26, 2024, at a secret location in Chicago, with DJ sets and copies of the issue and the CHINA! book on sale. The announcement promised a "very special live 'reading'" of pieces from the issue, with a footnote pointing to Dennou Tenshi: Digital Ange (1998). The visual novel was that reading: at the rave it ran automatically as background visuals rather than being played.

Status

The visual novel's files survive, but its text was never proofread and no one played through the whole game, so it was shelved. It may be reviewed and released in the future.
